We arrived at the "Perry Party" right on time (7 p.m.) -- my preference when attending a party, because I like to be settled inside as people arrive. We were chauffered up the VERY STEEP driveway by a hillbilly and his "sister" -- two of Dr. Perry's son's teenage friends. I can see why there was a shuttle; the driveway is so steep it's difficult to imagine walking up it! Because we were the first guests to arrive, Cat and I got a private tour of the place. It's perched on a steep hillside with quite a few of Ventura. We were unable to see the ocean, but Dr. Perry assured us it was out there where the city lights ended. I think the most amazing part of the tour was his closet -- he must have more than 100 pairs of cowboy boots!
A spooky pair!
He definitely designed his house with entertaining in mind. There was even a wood-fired pizza oven at one end of the kitchen! The only people I knew were Dr. Perry and his son; however, I got to meet some of his current staff. His assistant was there (dressed as a biker chick), as was his controller and wife (dressed as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers). We chatted with many people, including a lady dressed as Barbie. Her outfit was quite cute and she was carrying an original Barbie box from her own childhood. She was around my age -- maybe 2 or 3 years older.

Ventura is really nice. I went to Melissa's mom's place in Santa Barbara and they have a lovely view of the city and the ocean, and out in the haze you can see the channel islands. It's a really nice place. How is Dr. Perry doing? How was the party? Thanks for the temp job advice, I have an interview on Monday.
